That's the sad thing. Seriously though, dude, send me a PM and maybe we can work something out.

It lives! How are you liking it?

Scrodzilla 05-08-12 07:52 PM

Unfortunately, yes. :mad:

just took the 722ts out for a wet ride tonight. still the best fitting frame i've got. of course i have a long torso, average legs and short arms.

freakish, but my Leader loves me.

"Fast as a mother****er." :lol:

It's great, man. I like riding it, but the fit is still bothering me a little.

Scrodzilla 05-08-12 09:13 PM

You'll dial it in.

calv 05-09-12 01:30 PM

Yeah, I certainly hope so. Not really used to a lot of saddle to bar drop, but it should be fine.

My ass really hurts though, maybe it's from me not riding for so long. :lol:

It looks like that picture was taken by the Avalon jumps, looks like a nice ride.

i have the same problem, what size frame are you running?

im most likely gonna jump on the bandwagon but im wondering if i should stay with 55 or go to 58

58.

i'm just under 6'1" w/ a 33" inseam and if i put a yardstick in my armpit with my arm at my side, my middle finger is at 26".

my 725 is a 56 and feels just a bit cramped.

now my personal preference is to err on the large side and adjust saddle/stem if need be....

Mumonkan 05-09-12 08:48 PM

damn weird proportion bodies! im 5' 10" with a ~30" inseam and if i do the armpit-yardstick im at 25.5"

my current bike is a 55 and i could probably get another inch or 2 under my crotch, but its definitely cramped and i feel it in my back after a while of riding..

i wanna pull the trigger on this thing but 58 just sounds gigantic to me

Scrodzilla 05-09-12 09:03 PM

For what it's worth, a 58cm 722TS measures 56cm c-c with a 57cm top tube. Here's the chart:

(All listed seat tube measurements on the chart are c-t but are typically 2cm less measured c-c)

RGNY 05-09-12 09:05 PM

thanks!

i actually went looking for the 722ts geo today and had no luck. but i was on a really limited work machine.....

so basically what youre saying is that the 58 is a dream come true. essentially same standover height and the 2.5" i could use to spread out? yes please

knew there was a reason i liked leader

Scrodzilla 05-09-12 09:33 PM

If it helps any, I'm 5'10" with a 33ish inseam and long arms. My 58cm 722TS fits me very nicely with a 90mm stem.

Mumonkan 05-09-12 09:43 PM

it certainly helps to make my bank account lighter ;)

hamfoh 05-09-12 10:39 PM

6' with fairly normal arms I think. 58cm with 100mm stem

Total overhaul or simply cosmetics refresh?

I can agree with this color much better (azure?).

hamfoh 05-10-12 09:39 PM

let's hope they don't do to the kagero what they did to the 722
